As the Shadow of Mordor grows across the land, the Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, has joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and takes part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escape into Fangorn Forest and there encounter the Ents. Gandalf has miraculously returned and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam has left his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive — now in the foul hands of the Orcs.
And all the while the armies of the Dark Lord are massing as the One Ring draws ever nearer to the Cracks of Doom. --back cover
Si chiude in maniera scorrevole quest'opera. Scorre bene e non ci sono ostacoli inutili o insormontabili. Bella anche la fase finale presso la contea, anche se mi è sembrato un po' scisso dal resto. Storia meravigliosa ma.. posso dire che Gandalf meritava una caratterizzazione un po' migliore? È sempre così piatto.
